About [Edit]
O.U.R. ECOVILLAGE is a sustainable learning center and demonstration site which focuses on ecological ways of living involving permaculture design. We are dedicated to researching and modeling ways that are rooted in social, cultural, spiritual, economic and ecological well-being.
O.U.R. ECOVILLAGE acts as a bridge between the rural and urban experience. We offer a protected green space and a healthy, supportive learning community environment for residents and participants in programs and the wider local and global communities. As well, we actively create partnerships with groups and organizations from all walks of life who are interested in living in community and living lightly on the earth.
In 2005 our natural building programs will continue work on OUR Healing Sanctuary and we also plan to build our first natural home. Participants learn through hands-on practice of building skills, supported by presentations, personal study and discussions of related topics. The learning community also involves taking part in core curriculum activities of our whole systems programming.
In 2005, the O.U.R. Eco-Village permaculture design and organic gardening program will offer a unique opportunity to build skills and competence throughout the growing season. This is a four-month, fully residential program where a balance of practical hands-on learning and theoretical class time will be achieved.
